I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway Where hustle's the name of the game And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain There's been a load of compromisin' On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo Like a rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know And offers comin' over the phone Well, I really don't mind the rain And a smile can hide all the pain But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way And I dream of the things I'll do With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe There'll be a load of compromisin' On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo Rhinestone cowboy Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know And offers comin' over the phone Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo FADE Like a rhinestone cowboy Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know |

I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train Driver take away my worries of today And leave tomorrow behind Ooh dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light Fly me high through the starry skies Maybe to an astral plane Cross the highways of fantasy Help me to forget todays pain Ooh dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light Fly me high through the starry skies Maybe to an astral plane Cross the highways of fantasy Help me to forget todays pain Though the dawn may be coming soon There still may be some time Fly me away to the bright side of the moon And meet me on the other side Ooh dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light Dream weaver Dream weaver |

Mother told me, yes, she told me I′d meet girls like you.
She also told me, ″Stay away, you′ll never know what you′ll catch.″ Well just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that′s going round. Mommy′s alright, Daddy′s alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Father says, ″Your mother′s right, she′s really up on things.″ ″Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines.″ Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war. But mommy isn′t one of those, I′ve known her all these years. Mommy′s alright, Daddy′s alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Whatever happened to all this season′s losers of the year? Every time I got to thinking, where′d they disappear? When I woke up, Mom and Dad were rolling on the couch. Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out. Mommy′s alright, Daddy′s alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Away. Away. Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away Mummy′s alright, Daddy′s alright, Mummy,s alright Daddy,s alright Surrender, surrender, but don′t give yourself away ay, ay, ay |
